Watch some of the beginner videos on YouTube, that'll help you feel more comfortable. I always like to see a thing being done, plus you can hit replay.

Happy quilting :-)

I got great advice when I started, and that was to start off small so you won't get discouraged or overwhelmed. You might want to begin with some "charm squares", they are pre-cut and color matched. You will learn to do a true 1/4 seam, how to press the seams correctly and get a finished product sooner. Placemats are a great beginner project. We all started at the same place you are at now!
Enjoy, and welcome to the board.
